Now I am going to describe my research in this essay.


They are many definitions for describe meaning of carbon foot print. Let’s see at the right definition for it. A carbon foot print is measurement of life and climate however; green houses gases we produced with poor knowledge. According to website, it was stated that a carbon footprint is measure of impact of our activities have on the environment ,and in climate change due to the amount of green house gases produced in our life through burning fossil fuels for power ,transportation or heating .










I calculated my carbon footprint by using official’s website (WWF) and my average 4.39 planets. This website calculate food,travel,home and staff. I used the second website (UAE Heros) and my average was 3.50planet. I consume more energy in IT and cooling. I compared my result with my classmate. The first one was Abdulla Al Kindi his average was 10 planets .The second one was Mohammed Al Attas his Average was 2.68 planet .The third one was Hadi his average was 1.68 planet. We are consuming more cooling energy because of hot climate.

Inconlucion have to change my life style by at least turn off all devices whenever I go out of my room. Also, I should use the energy saver bulbs light and I recommend my entire friend to change their habit.

An Inconvenient Truth

Al Gore the man who was a previous Vice President of United States of America introduced a documentary movie about global warming. Al Gore stated in his movie which called “An Inconvenient Truth” the danger of global warming and the direction the earth environment is heading. Let’s see through ly about this movie and Al Gore Highlights.

In his movie Al Gore supported his speech and claims of global warming reality by photographs which bring out two different times from the same area, and an animated movie that shows clearly the event s that cause that area to be as shown on the second picture. This dramatic visual, graphs and with many statics shown by Al Gore helped in driving the point close home and warns that if we do nothing toward this catastrophic phenomenon will have serious effects which might destroy our civilization and wipe out other species on earth (Steige). By asking viewers to hold hands, he made this case not only matters him but should matters all people because we are part of it and effect us all, and to join the effort for benefiting the whole world.

In other hand some people criticized Al Gore’s movie because it is so insignificant to present about global warming since it has no effect on us. Another criticizing he bombarded the audience with many scientific words and phrases that made the movie so boring to a presenter they were looking forward to be more entertaining. In addition some scientists criticized the realistic of these figures and statics that Al Gore stated in his movie saying that it is too overacted and ambitious (Steve).

In fact the movie “An Inconvenient Truth” made us stop and think about the future of our earth and what to act to save our planet whether we agree what stated in the movie completely refutes.
